Reddit-level Criticism

Another day, another "idea". This time, I have decided to read an article, a part of it, and criticize it as much as possible. (these are strange times)



My Opinion on the 'INTRODUCTION' of Article:
Secure User Data in Cloud Computing Using Encryption Algorithms


As I am aware of how invaluable my opinion is, I shall attempt to give as much information as I can on this introduction starting with:


"Cloud Computing is the ability to access a pool of computing resources owned and maintained by a third party via the Internet"


The writer starts off the article using some big words, not at "amelioration" level, but still words that may cause confusion for non-native English speakers. It also has an effect of making anyone who reads it instantly bored.


"Cloud computing usually involves the transfer, storage, and processing of information on the ‘providers’ infrastructure, which is not included in the ‘customers’ control policy"


Here, the writer adds in a little bonus information, which no one will remember. Although the introduction is meant for giving a brief 'opening' on what the rest of the article will be about, the writer chose to fill it up with in-efficacious words.


"The concept Cloud Computing is linked closely with those of Information as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) all of which means a service oriented architecture [1]."


Should've put quotations for "Cloud Computing" now it just looks weird.


"The advantage of cloud computing over traditional computing include: agility, lower entry cost, device independency, location independency, and scalability [1]."


This is the start of a paragraph with no space at the start and a large gap after every comma, making the entire "paragraph" annoying to read.


"Although schemes with private auditability can achieve higher scheme efficiency, public auditability allows anyone not just the client (data owner), to challenge the cloud server for correctness of data storage while keeping no private information."


Learning from the mistake of not stating with enough space, the writer decided to add more, a bit too much, that it becomes, yet again, annoying to read.



Now, it may look like I'm nitpicking at the writer, looking for any small thing to hate on. And yes that is what I'm doing. Hence, the title.

You can check out the full article here: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/9799/a9f9bec6cf85715ca236035b5d89204b326a.pdf or by clicking the title at the start of the blog. Well, that's all for now. See ya.
